$2,000 HOSS' IN TOWN.
A stock firm, Bridges & Flora, of Crawfordsville, have a large iron gray stallion here, and are making an effort to form a stock company to purchase the horse. The horse is the finest piece of hoss' flesh that ever struck this town. He weighs i960 lbs. and is 4 years old, is of the Percheon stock. The probabilities are that the horse will be bought and a stand will be made here, as this is considered one of the best points in Monroe county for a stallion. Some of the probable stockholders, are Chas. Botkin, Silas Grimes Loebe Warring, Calvin, Chas. and Silas Wisley James Deckard, Geo. Gaither Paris Trisler, Geo. Hensley, Wm. Jacobs Oscar and John Mitchell. The season for such a horse brings $15. This horse took second premium at the Illinois state fair last August.

The meeting at the M. E. church still continues with much interest, twenty-five additions have been made to the church. In all it is a great religious revival and it seems that a great deal oif good is being accomplished.

SMITHVILLE SCHOOL NOTES.
Edgar Deckard, ---- ---- Reporter.
Ella Strain was unable to teach, this week on account of sickness. Her sister, Effie taught during her absence.
There was no school in the intermediate room Monday.
The menagerie contest held last Friday proved to be very interesting.
The following is a list of pupils who were absent some this week: Lillie Pate, Muriel Trisler, Anna Sylvester, Ola Botkin, Daisy Deckard, Mamie Wal1s, Hazel Sylvester, Edith Hensley and Belle Wampler.
Frank Zike, Grover Shields and Chas. Dill were visitors at school Wednesday.
Mary Burkhart and Zella Sipes are new primary pupils.
The walk afforded some good skating Wednesday, a constant stream of pupils could be seen sliding down it at recess periods. It was found cindered Thursday morning. ,
If the Standard Oil Company is put out of business as is suggested it simply means that some new kink will be sprung. As long as mankind worship Gold as its God just that long are you going to find some hook or crook to pile up the stuff.
